Pardon the dirty car.

I got a set of wheels/tires from TireRack.

Got the Micheline Pilot Sport A/S 3+ went down one size in diameter to 17" but up a half inch in width to 225/45ZR17 on 17x8 inch wheels.

17x8 +42 offset Method Rally wheels MR503 Black Painted which weigh 16.5 lbs

According to Tirerack the wheels/tires 16.5 + 24 (tires) should weight 40.5 lbs each, I have not weighed the wheels yet since I got installed at my tire shop, but I did weigh one of the stock wheel/tires at 42.7 lbs. So they are fairly close.

I just drove a bit (it's sunny and 40 degrees) the tires feel more loose, squishy than my summer tires and seems like I can slide around more but overall about what I was expecting.

I couldn't decide going with 17" (more sidewall) or 18" so went with the smaller wheels which I think are ok except they feel a bit squishy. I don't know if that's due to the larger sidewall or the tire construction or both. I went with +42 which should have put the entire extra width on the outside of the car according to the offset calculators, the front is almost (not quite flush) the back is still pushed in but not as much as stock.
